Having off campus is a privilege not a right for Junior’s and Senior’s. If sophomores were to be granted this privilege, students would become more motivated to stay off AGG, improve their grades, and not get disciplinary referrals. The staff at SU would also benefit from this. The AGG list would decrease, making the line to get into the cafeteria smaller. Classes would not be as crowded with students during AGG, giving teachers more one on one time with students. Sophomores should have more severe consequences for disobeying the rules than the Junior’s and Senior’s because having off campus is even more of a privilege from sophomores. If disciplinary guidelines were set for sophomores, the amount of referrals would decrease because they would …show more content…
First, it should only be the second semester because the majority of students won’t have their license the first semester and those that do, will have more time to practice. Of course, parents and sophomore students should have to sign an agreement at registration or have letters sent home before the end of the first semester clearly stating that it is a privilege, not a right and they must follow all rules at all times. Following the law that states that a newly licensed driver cannot drive with anyone other than family during their first six months of getting their license, we agree that no sophomores should be able to take anyone off campus, even if their six months are up. However, they should be able to leave with an upper classman. If they are caught taking someone off campus, their ability should be taken away for whatever time is decided. To make this a more organized manner, students should receive a card that shows that they can go off campus. In order to get this card, they must have no discipline referrals, such as detention, be on AGG for no more than one week, and have certain grades or GPA that is decided by you. It should be a monthly opportunity so students have the chance to redeem themselves. If they find themselves on AGG, their card should be taken away until the end of the week. If a student is on AGG, they shouldn’t be able to leave for the rest of the week, when they should be off AGG. Cards will be
The key to the transformation of boys to men within Graves Hall is nurturing by ushering a sense of responsibility and respect through stiff rules and policies. Each resident hall on the campus of Morehouse College is governed by the Resident Housing Association. Although the RHA implies rules to all of its residence halls, it is up to the staff within the halls to enforce and determine the magnitude at which they will enforce the rules. It is apparent from many freshman students that the rules in their halls are not fully enforced and Graves Hall has the most enforced rules out of all other freshman living quarters. ...
The primary responsibility of student discipline falls on the school officials. Disciplining students helps with keeping order in the school, and the main reason for discipline is to keep the safety of entities of the school. However, discipline can be hard when the issues happen outside school grounds, especially for issues that occur through social media platforms, also known as off-campus speech. Off-campus speech is very tricky to deal with, and as school personnel, we need to make sure we do not take action based on students’ opinions until we know the facts and the law behind our actions.
...od, eat and get back before their lunch period is over which could is a high risk for the individual to get in an accident, injured, or killed. The school would then be held responsible and the parents of that individual could place a law suit on the high school.
First, at all, I would let the students the rule of the classroom and consequences of certain actions at the beginning of the scholar year. I would keep them remainder through the year to prevent or anticipate the consequences of any student’s action. I can a direct conversation with the students to address the matter by letting them know that is unacceptable.
Truancy can occur among students if an open campus is accepted. If students have the privilege to leave school for fifty whole minutes on their own, then they have the freedom to not come back. It would break the trust between students and educators, and harsher rules would have to be enforced on the open campus rule. Numerous students who decide to ditch the remaining periods would have an excessive amount of in-school absences. This could lead to parent conferences and suspension, and possibly expulsion in some cases. When a student misses or skips a class, the information taught that day would not be accessible in the same format which others have learned. One?s academic grades can be effected from lack of information by truancy. Irresponsible students who choose to take the risk of leaving their school after lunch for the remainder of the day will not have this opportunity if an open campus is kept closed.
The group of students that can leave the school can be very easily simplified from the current thought of all students being able to leave. First of all, a freshman certainly cannot leave the school grounds. A sophomore, even though more mature than the freshman, should as well not be able to leave the grounds.
College campuses have always been the sites where students can express their opinions without fear. There have been many debates about the merits of allowing free speech on campus. Some students and faculties support allowing free speech on campus, while others believe that colleges should restrict free speech to make the college’s environment safer for every student. Free speeches are endangered on college campuses because of trigger warning, increasing policing of free speech, and the hypersensitivity of college students.
Martinez et al, 409). But I think they should wait, alcohol has many consequences and if you’re still not mature enough, you shouldn’t do it. The MLDA should be enforced more. Underage students shouldn’t have the opportunity or freedom to consume alcohol. Consuming alcohol is something you should do when you’re mature and responsible. If you’re not responsible you shouldn’t drink because you would probably end up doing something that would cost you later.
College students are often classified as “party animals,” but these students are most under the legal drinking age when starting college. Students are drinking under the legal age; therefore, they must accept the adult consequences for trying to take adult actions. Lowering the drinking age would show how easily our government is persuaded to choose a side in controversial issues. If the drinking age was lowered, student’s grades would start to drop and the student’s drop-out rate would rise tremendously. Students in this generation have plenty of distractions that take them away from fully focusing on school; therefore, if the age was lowered, students would only worry about the next party instead of their next class. Also, excessive amounts of alcohol have been proven to kill vital brain cells, and brain cells do not replicate like other cells within the body. The brain is not fully developed until age twenty-one, so an eighteen year old should not be killing brain cells necessary for everyday communication and decision making. In order for students to excel, they need minimal stress and minimal distractions. Alcohol will only increase stress and increase distractions, so students should refrain from any type of alcohol related activity. Keeping the drinking age at age twenty-one will result in more successful, responsible
Some professors in universities and some departments have very tight polices related with attendance. There are many universities and colleges in the world which doesn’t consider regular attendance in their grading part system. Sometime if the professor knows about the excessive number of times the student was absent they will mark the name of student and the final grade of that class is lowered. This topic is an issue of debate all over the world. Some people support this rule while other is against this rule. In this paper, I have presented many arguments in favor of strict attendance policy while some arguments are against the strict attendance policy. Students in college and universities are matured enough to take their own decision (Bastedo,
By keeping the students within the school they are still able to be monitored to ensure that they are still getting their work done and keeping up with the class. Also, by having them out of the class, the environment becomes more learning friendly to the students who do not cause trouble. According to Claiborne Winborne, a writer for Educational Leadership, “Keeping suspended students at school – but isolated from other students - makes more sense and is more effective than giving them a ‘vacation’ away from school.” (King William County, 466)
I am writing this essay to represent my knowledge of the current school residential rules and regulations that I have broken on multiple occasions. I was told to write this essay due to my lack of education on the rules regarding residential life guest and visitation, residential lif noise quiet hours violations, residential life keys and registration, and residential life compliance which lead to me breaking the rule on campus. On November 18th, 2015, the UMBC peer review council met to hear my case arising from my November 4, 2015 charge letter. Here I was found guilty for all the charges against me. On this campus, my main focus should be to do well in my classes and learn from my experiences. Causing trouble throughout residential buildings should not be a part of any of the action that I have came to school for. To show my understanding of the rules and regulations that I have broken I will state the rules I have went against and show I have went against them, I will also state the consequences given to me and show how these incidents have affected my life on campus directly.
Tuition over the years have made it the struggle for students and their parent to make ends meet. The dorms cost a lot that make it payment really high. Living off campus would make life so much easier for parents and myself because the cost of the school would not cost as much as it does living in the dorms. The school should let students live off campus if they have 2 or more people living with them. If the school did let students live off campus I feel like they should be able to have room checks just like they do in the dorms. If the parents of the students let them live off campus the school should be able to let them do it too. Because really the parents of the students have more authority over the school. I feel that now that a lot of the dorms are getting broken into that it would be way safer to live off campus. That way I know that it is my responsibility if someone was to break into my house. If anything is broking into in our room even if it is locked I don’t think the school pays to get any of the stuff replaced. So living off campus can help students to have responsibility and become a real adult in the college
Because colleges see alcohol abuse as a general issue, they think that they can repair this issue through education without enforcement included. Binge drinking has caused safety risks in motor vehicle crashes, drunk-driving arrests, sexual assaults, and injuries, as the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism presents it. In addition, Dr. Iconis (2014) states that students who are under the influence of alcohol are most likely to be arrested by policies that a student does not binge drink or does not drink at all. College students who binge drink are usually unable to control their own actions in just a few hours and can cause a lot of problems for themselves and their peers. Considering these students can’t even control their own actions, how could they be expected to drive home safely?
While studying or even registering for a class presents a challenge to some college students, the greatest obstacle remains, going to class. Attending college is supposed to signify a new found freedom to make many important choices regarding education without high school mandatory attendance policies. However, students everywhere are coming to the staggering realization that college is not too different from high school. Teachers still take class roll and students are still expected to be at every class on time. What next, hall monitors in the hall? The time has come for action to be taken. Colleges must abolish mandatory student attendance policies for several reasons to be further discussed.
